About 571 miles!! That should be about 918km. I bought my first 360 with Halo 3 in another state and flew it back!

I drove about 60 miles to get a copy of Mario Kart Wii. I couldn't find it in any local stores and then I found out a GameStop had it about 3 towns over so I went and got it.

Maybe not a 360 game but I did travel pretty far to get a copy of No One Lives Forever 2 which was the last copy and only $10! It was worth it.

The next county or two over, I certainly don't have to travel to the other side of the state to find a game. I just use the Internet anymore, so I guess I have bought from everywhere.

I went to several different stores one time to buy Tony Hawk's Underground on release day, wasn't that much traveling involved though since I got it at a Wal-Mart close by.

I drive a lot (half the time because I have to, the other half for pleasure) and Ienjoy randomly stopping at different places, that's how I getall of mygames. I guess the longest distance would beabout 400 miles.

Like 4 miles to go to buy Fallout 3 at BB. I suppose some of you might live in towns, not cities?

Well seeing as I have 2 Wal-marts (1 being the biggest wal-mart ever constructed) , 3 BestBuy's, 5 GameStop/EB Games and 2 slackers all within 15 miles of my house that I've lived in my whole life I'd say the farthest I've ever had to travel was about 15 miles.

I traveled about 45-50 miles once I think. I normally wouldn't do that but it was for a rare, valuable game (Suikoden II) in near mint condition at a good price

I'm having a REALLY hard time believing you have 42 gamestops within 30 miles of you. That is illogical beyong belief. Why would that even happen. It wouldn't. Shush with your nonsense yea?

Go to Gamestop and go to store locator then put 92040. So next time ask me nicely to present proof and don't call me a liar for no reason.

Funny story when this game first came out i went to my local gamestop to see if they had this game but they didnt. so I traveled 27.9 miles to get it in another state but come to find out they didnt have it either. so i traveled back home and went to bestbuy to look for some movies to take my mind off the game and behold right in the game section there it was. all along it was sitting right in my local bestbuy.
